Product details
Overview
PCA9665PW/S911,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) parallel-bus-to-I²C-bus controller IC that serves as a bidirectional protocol bridge between 8-bit parallel microcontrollers and the I²C-bus. It operates as master or slave, supports 1 Mbit/s data rates, delivers up to 25 mA drive on SCL/SDA, and integrates a 68-byte buffer for buffered-mode transfers. It is used in industrial control modules where legacy parallel interfaces require I²C expansion without timing-critical external oscillators.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9665PW/S911,118 datasheet, PCA9665PW/S911,118 pinout, PCA9665PW/S911,118 application, or PCA9665PW/S911,118 equivalent, this device enables deterministic I²C bus arbitration, software-initiated reset via parallel bus, General Call support, and 5 V-tolerant I/Os - all while operating from 2.3 V to 3.6 V supply with internal oscillator trimming.
Technical Context
The PCA9665PW/S911,118 implements full I²C-bus protocol handling-including START/STOP generation, arbitration, ACK/NACK management, and clock stretching-without external timing components. Its internal oscillator (28.5 MHz typical) drives all timing-critical functions, and register access is split across four direct registers (selected by A0/A1) and seven indirect registers accessed via INDPTR.
It supports two operational modes: Byte mode (single-byte transfers) and Buffered mode (up to 68 bytes), both configurable via the MODE bit in I2CCON. The device uses open-drain SCL/SDA outputs with 25 mA sink capability, enabling robust Fm+ operation on loaded buses, and includes dedicated hardware for timeout detection, forced bus access recovery, and glitch-free restart (in PCA9665A variant).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel-to-I²C interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9665APW | PCA9665A variant with 'glitch-free' restart logic; internal oscillator trimmed to 32 MHz (vs. 28.5 MHz); same TSSOP20 package. | Better suited for systems using buffer drivers where restart transients must avoid false SCL/SDA glitches. | Select PCA9665APW when driving long traces or capacitive loads where restart stability is critical; otherwise PCA9665PW/S911,118 suffices. |
| PCA9564PW | Legacy predecessor; supports only Standard/Fast-mode (400 kbit/s max); 32-byte buffer; no General Call or software reset register. | Limited to lower-speed I²C peripherals; lacks Fm+ drive strength and advanced recovery features. | Choose PCA9564PW only if existing firmware relies on its register map and 1 Mbit/s speed is unnecessary. |
Compared with PCA9665APW, PCA9665PW/S911,118 offers identical pinout and core functionality but trades glitch-free restart for slightly lower oscillator frequency - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial controllers where restart robustness is secondary to BOM simplicity. Versus PCA9564PW, it adds 1 Mbit/s speed, 68-byte buffering, and General Call - enabling next-generation sensor aggregation.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C data rate supported by the PCA9665PW/S911,118?
The PCA9665PW/S911,118 supports Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) operation up to 1 Mbit/s. This is enabled by its 25 mA SCL/SDA sink capability and internal timing generator, allowing reliable communication with high-capacitance buses or multiple slaves without external clock sources. The PCA9665PW/S911,118 achieves this speed while maintaining full protocol compliance including arbitration and clock stretching.
Does the PCA9665PW/S911,118 require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the PCA9665PW/S911,118 integrates a trimmed internal oscillator (28.5 MHz typical) that drives all I²C timing functions. This eliminates the need for external crystals, capacitors, or clock generators, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint. Oscillator accuracy is ±15 %, sufficient for Fm+ timing budgets and validated across −40 °C to +85 °C operation.
How does the 68-byte buffer in the PCA9665PW/S911,118 improve system performance?
The 68-byte buffer in the PCA9665PW/S911,118 enables Buffered mode transfers, allowing the host CPU to issue a single read/write command for up to 68 bytes - drastically reducing interrupt overhead and bus arbitration cycles. For example, reading a full 64-byte sensor register map requires only one CPU interrupt instead of 64, improving real-time response in time-constrained industrial applications using the PCA9665PW/S911,118.
Can the PCA9665PW/S911,118 interface with 5 V I²C peripherals?
Yes, the PCA9665PW/S911,118 features 5 V-tolerant I/Os on its parallel bus (D0–D7, A0, A1, RD, WR, CE, INT, RESET) and I²C lines (SCL, SDA). This allows direct connection to 5 V logic without level shifters, simplifying design when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or I²C peripherals - a key advantage confirmed in the PCA9665PW/S911,118 datasheet.
What is the purpose of the I2CPRESET register in the PCA9665PW/S911,118?
The I2CPRESET register in the PCA9665PW/S911,118 provides software-initiated reset functionality: writing to this indirect register clears all internal registers, resets the I²C state machine, and returns the device to idle state - equivalent to asserting the hardware RESET pin. This enables safe bus recovery and configuration reload without power cycling, a critical feature for remote or sealed-system deployments using the PCA9665PW/S911,118.
